Democratic party is just another Republican party. The delusion is that there is any kind of party that represents working people now, or that their lives matter to those in power, beyond other than just cotton pickers on a 1% owned plantation farm.

I've been watching a number of videos that have been popping up more frequently on youtube, of how many younger generation Americans no longer buy into the 9-5 weekly job, that many of us baby boomers accepted in the 80s and 90s. Their argument is that even that well-worn path now is pretty much closed as a viable way of life, since, as you say, unfettered corporate greed has reduced compensation to slave level wages, vacation and health care is no longer provided, job security now is a joke in the US (for the majority of Americans) and all corporate America wants you to do now is work yourself to death until you drop. And you are treated as nothing more than an expendable resource.

Genocide Joe didn't do jack with the economy. Trump won't do anything either. So it's just going to continue to get worse, until there finally is an undeniable groundswell from the cotton picker wage slaves. We've seen rumblings of a revolt, but nothing very significant. When it does happen, my guess is the Elites will crack down violently and hard, hoping they can cow the plantation pickers back into submission. But the cotton pickers will be so fed up at that point, I doubt it will suffice. I don't know if we baby boomers will see this happening in our lifetime, but I think some kind of change is inevitable. Assuming of course, these Elite Plantation Owner idiots don't manage to get us all blown up in the next few years in a nuclear exchange - while they argue over their golf handicap scores.

Bullshit. Or did you not see Joe walking the picket line with the UAW members? Stay away from youTube, it is full of useless bullshit.
